Boxing champion-turned-actor Lennox Lewis was 'knocked out' by four chess masters last week (ends02JUN06) as part of a boardgame bonanza in New York's Washington Square Park.
Lewis, who famously played chess to calm his nerves before a big fight, played 18 matches in a speed chess tournament - and lost only four times.
The players who beat the champ each won $1,000 (GBP555) and a certificate boasting 'I KO'd Lennox Lewis'.
